Venue: Ottawa Tennis and Lawnbowling Club

Capital Vélo Fest Bike Rally:

Ride in teams of 3-6 people in a friendly challenge through the streets of Ottawa along bike paths and low traffic volume streets. Riders follow a route searching for the answers to quirky questions and exploring the hidden gems of interesting sights and lesser known cycling routes in Ottawa. It’s an exciting tour of Ottawa on bikes with prizes, surprises and a fun couple of hours on wheels through the nation’s Capital!

The route is about 15km and you ride at your own pace with your team as you discover little known fascinating corners of the city.

The cost for registering for the bike rally and the banquet is only $40 plus a minimum donation of $20. Your registration includes full rally participation, a ticket to the banquet, prizes, fun on your bike and a contribution to provide safe shelter and training to homeless teenage girls and young women in Uganda.

You can make the $20 donation yourself, OR use our convenient online fundraising tool to gather tax deductible charitable donations from your friends, family and colleagues. If you raise $200 or more, your participation in the rally and the banquet is FREE!

Click below to register. You can sign up a team or register as an individual (you will be placed on a team). Register by 4pm Friday, September 15.

Bring your own roadworthy bike, bike helmet and a cell phone/camera (some rally questions require a photo answer) and get set to see a side of Ottawa you may not know! The event will go rain or shine, so dress to be comfortable riding.

Make your ride a fundraiser – get friends and family to sponsor you using our easy online system!

A limited number of rally registrations are available, so gather your team and register before it’s sold out!
